Just built this 10ft shotgun rail today, and I'm making the other 10ft(replica) tomorrow, I'm gonna make them the exact same so I can set them up either together to make a 20ft flat, / \ like a gap (not so intense) and like -----______ like a jump down thing.

Yeah we had that problem, from the drop in to the rail, we couldn't get enough speed to hit it. So that night I was just stepping onto it(better than nothing) and working on 270 offs.

yea, you can probably tone down the kicker. You should have enough speed to pop.

Well now I have another problem, my parents yelled at me for using the hot-tub as a drop-in. So I can't use that anymore, do you guys have suggestions until I can build one?

If you push it forward it looks like it will fall.

Do you guys not see the boards under the legs? I jump, push, sit on it and it doesn't move.

yea, we see the boards. I'm saying that if the boards are frozen into the ground, and you kick the end of it hard, the nails will rip out. You have no fore-aft support
